Is it true that not everyone has what it takes to make it through college?

Answer 1

Sure, it's also true that not everyone has what it takes to make it through army basic training, or cooking school. Different people are suited to different types of training and different occupations- there's no single experience that fits EVERYONE. Some skilled trade jobs require extensive vocational training, instead of college.

Answer 2

Unfortunately and sadly yes. First, if you want to succeed and graduate from college you need to find the right community college, college, or university for you. Second you need to find the right program that fits your interest. Third you need to consider the student assistance, for instance, tutoring or mentoring programs that there might be available. Many more institutions are offering this. Fourth, I strongly suggest taking one course at a time if you are working or have been out of school for a period of time to get used to the schedule. It may take longer but you will do better, I guarantee. Last you need to have great instructors or teachers that will be understanding and work with you. If you can make it through the first course you have a higher chance of making it to graduation.

Answer 3

I think it is very true. I have known several people who enrolled in college and ended up dropping out by the end of the year because they couldn't cut it. Sometimes people just aren't ready for the responsibilities that come with being a college student. You need good time management skills and have to learn your limits. College is hard and while many like to think that it is just a fun party, there is also a ton of work involved.

Answer 4

It's true, some people can't afford it, for one thing.
Another, is that it's very demanding...both of your time, money, and energy. Also, it takes a great amount of personal sacrifice. If you're going to work, school, and trying to raise a family all at the same time, it can be very difficult to discipline yourself to proper time management. Plus, I've come to notice that college professor are a lot less lenient about grades and the quality of your work than high school teachers are. Plus, in college, you learn in 4 months, a subject that you learned in 9 months in high school.

Answer 5

No, I don't think that's true at all. There's always something someone can go to university for that sparks their personal interests, even if your interests have nothing to do with academics. I am terrible at math and science, but I have a international background, so I went to school for international relations. My roommate is not at all good at anything academic, so she's in university for fashion design, which is something that she's interested in and has been her entire life. There are requirement classes, like English or history, but universities all have extra help and tutoring programs for those classes. If you take enough classes each semester in your major classes that you like and will enjoy personally, then you can make it. Lots of people do every year. They just don't go to Harvard or Yale to do it, and attend a less academically challenging school.

Answer 6

Well, I think the statement is true as is anything in life.
You will have those who have what it takes and those who do not have what it takes.

Really all depends on the person, their personal drive, time management, study habits, income, etc.

Answer 7

Yes, college is hard and demanding, much more so than high school or any other schooling that you may experience.

Answer 9
